Pore Yellow Iron Oxide
An American company specializ
ing in mineral pigments has discov
ered a vein of material which is re
ported to be practically identical in
chemical analysis and color with
pure synthetic iron oxide, in one of
Its mining properties in Colorado. It
is reported that the material which
.is now being mined has no impuri
ties and exists in a vein about 4 feet
wide, estimated to contain several
hundred thousand tons. No evidence
has been found that this vein oc
curs anywhere else within a 50 mile
radius. It is estimated that about 400
tons per month will be produced.
Perspiration Stains
Perspiration stains often contain
oil, grease ind sometimes traces of
deodorants and depilatories. Turn
garment inside out on your ironing
board, wet stain with water, apply
a few drops of ammonia, and tamp
with brush. Sponge with clear wa
ter. On colored materials, if dye
stuff has run. better let your clean
er do the job. Should an objection
able odor be noticeable after the
perspiration stains are removed,
flush area with vinegar water.
Body Temperature
Under any conditions of living
that we would consider even mod
erately comfortable, the body is
warmer than its surroundings and is
constantly giving off heat. Yet rela
tively little fuel is being burned in
the body to maintain temperature.
Enough heat for this purpose usual
ly results as a by-product and end
product of activities involved in life
processes which would be going on
anyway.
Playful Pet or
Killer? Experts
Study Zoo Bear
Summer Appears to Change
Nature of the Beast Into
Dangerous Animal.
CHICAGO.—What is it about sum
mertime that turns the friendly bear
into a growling killer is perplexing
the minds of zoo officials here, says
the Herald American.
They were trying to probe into the
“personality” of the beast to see
whether it was fundamentally a fun-
loving pet or a dangerous animal.
A big, lumbering clown of the ani
mal kingdom, a Tibetan bear, has
proved that in the hot weather it
is more treacherous than a snake,
more ferocious than a tiger, and not
to be trusted even by the keeper
who has fed and kept it for many
years.
In its cage at Lincoln Park zoo
it went berserk, mangling and chew
ing the arms of a veteran attendant,
Anton Rauch, 59, who had entered
the cage to clean it. Rauch later died
in the hospital.
Rauch’s screams attracted Park
Policeman John Lanning, who en
tered the barred enclosure armed
with a sawed-off shotgun. The big
bear dropped the limp form of
Rauch and lunged for the policeman
only to be felled by three shots. Both
Rauch’s arms had been chewed
and the right one had been torn into
shreds.
Danube Has Many Names
"Danube,” an Anglicized word,
is almost unknown in the river’s na
tive lands. Germans know the river
as Donau; Czechs, as Dunaj; Hun
garians, as Duna. Farther down the
river Yugoslavs and Bulgarians say
Dunav, Romanians say Dunarea,
and the Russians refer to it as
Dunai.
Hardest Metal Soft
The hardest metal yet produced
by science, carboloy cemented car
bide, is s® soft and fragile before it
is fused at tremendously high tem
peratures that parts made from it
are sometimes handled in sponge-
rubber lined individual wooden
cradles to protect them against in

No Difficulty Before.
In 30 years at the zoo, Rauch had
never had the slightest difficulty
with the animals, and had come to
trust many of the inmates of the
bear cages, which Rauch had helped
build himself.
Rauch’s experience emphasizes
that the bear is even more of a
potential killer than the tiger or lion.
It also serves as a warning that the
summer season, which means in
creased attendance at zoos and cir
cuses, is always a bad time to let
down the bars of safety when it
comes to dealing with them.
In a search through newspaper
files of several years, it was found
that the increased Excitement of
crowds seems to irritate the big ani
mals and change their normal de
sire for fun into a mad fury of
murder.
It was on July 17, 1944, when
Catherine Searles, 25, a New York
socialite and daughter of a wealthy
zinc manufacturer, went to see the
bears at Central Park zoo following
a night club party.
According to the police, Miss
Searles climbed over a three-foot
guard rail and waved a handker
chief through the steel bars of a
cage. The beast grabbed her arm
and gnawed it from finger tips to
elbow.
Bear Breaks Loose.
It was on August 5, some years
ago, when a ferocious grizzly broke
from a steel-barred cage in High
land Park zoo in Pittsburgh and
spread terror through the adjoining
residential district, before being shot
and killed.
She attacked Zoo Superintendent
Arnold Schaummann on sight.
Schaummann, armed with a shot
gun, shot the beast as it roared at
him, dropping the animal eight feet
away.
In almost exactly similar circum
stances as the Lincoln Park maul
ing, Thomas Earl, 56, keeper at
Cleveland’s Brookside zoo, was
ripped to death on July 8, 1932.
Earl, unarmed, went into the
bearpen with a breakfast of raw
meat, bread and carrots for “Sun
shine,” a 900-pound beast named for
his usually even temper.
The animal rose up suddenly, en
circled Earl’s shoulders with one
paw and began clawing at him with
the other.
Other workers failed to drive the
beast off by poking at him with
rakes, and it finally took 10 rifle
shots to kill him. Earl was dead.

Operation Yields Cyst
SAN FRANCISCO. — Napoleon,
the turtle, stuck his neck out here
for a tonsillectomy.
There was danger that the big
green reptile at San Francisco’s
Steinhart aquarium would become
but a hollow shell, for every time
he stuck his neck out he got a lump
in it and couldn’t eat.
He shriveled up between decks to
a scant 58 pounds, so Dr. Wilbert
Chapman, curator of fishes for the
California Academy of Sciences, or
dered sin operation.
A few swift incisions, a tied ar
tery and the whole thing was over
in 15 minutes. Napoleon showed
signs of immediate recovery.
The tonsillectomy, not the turtle,
was mock. The “surgeons” got cred
it for a cyst.
Private Soldier Wins
Pass and a Promotion
SHEPPARD FIELD, TEXAS. —
Pfc. Robert L. Hall, Memphis, Tenn.,
was booked for a three-day pass
—and wound up with a promotion.
It all happened because the pri
vate was tempted by the suggestion
of a three-day pass for ideas in a
conservation program while sta
tioned at Craig field, Selma, Ala.
Hall submitted a device for preven
tion of battery acid overflow.
Now a letter has arrived from

Wronged Husband,
17, Shoots Rival
Killed Man Who Won Wife
‘Under My Nose.’
LOS ANGELES. — An outraged 17-
year-old husband told police he shot
and killed Harold Timothy Young,
30-year-old father of three children
who wooed and won his wife away
from him “under my very nose.”
Leon Benon, 17, a warehouseman,
was held on suspicion of murder.
Deputy sheriff said he freely ad
mitted shooting Young when he
“found him making love to my
wife.”
Benon and his pretty 16-year-old
wife, Lois Jean, celebrated their
first wedding anniversary three
days ago. Both are from Alpine,
Texas, as is Young. *
Officers summoned to the Benon
home by Francis Elgin Smith, 33-
> ear-old baker, found Young’s body
on the living room floor, his head
and body riddled with rifle slugs.
Benon and his wife were arrested
at the home of his mother-in-law.
“This fellow has been playing
around with my wife for a couple
of months,” Deputy Gordon Bow
ers quoted Benon as saying. “I fi
nally said, ‘To hell with it’ and
went for my gun.”
The gun was found dismantled
and tucked into a bedroom drawer
at the Benon home, Bowers said.
Smith told the most complete
story of the tragic affair. He said he
and Young and the Benons had re
turned from a ride in Los Angeles
and started talking in the living
room.
“Young said suddenly, ‘I’m in
love with Lois. I want her to go
to Texas with me,’ ” Smith related,
according to police.
“Lois said she’d like to. Benon
turned to her and said, ‘Do you love
him?’ She said, T think I do, I
don’t know.’ ”
“That got Benon. He jumped up,
grabbed his gun and blazed away.”
Science Sweeten* Future
Sponges in Your Candy
WASHINGTON. — Maybe your
postwar candy bar will sound dif
ferent. It may contain “starch
sponges”—which are very crispy
and crunchy.
Don’t worry though—a starch
sponge isn’t any relation to the
porous swab you use to wash your
car.
It’s something stewed up in a test
tube at the department of agricul
ture’s northern regional research
laboratory at Peoria, 111., by a lady
scientist named Majel M. McMas-
ters. It’s made of corn and depart
ment officials are pretty enthusias
tic about its possibility as a food
project.
T. Swann Harding, editor of the
department’s house organ, “Usda,”
gave the world its first notice that
science is beating field com into
candy bars for the snack trade.
“In its dry state,” he reported,
“the ground or shredded sponge,
because of its crispiness, imparts
crunchiness to confections or
crackle-like wafers.
“Shredded dry sponge also has
properties similar to shredded coco
nut or chopped nut meats. When
finely ground, the material shows
promise as a stabilizer in chocolate
coatings and icings.”
Making it involves a lot of proc
esses. The result is an extremely
porous material with “very high cal
orific value,” Harding says, and you
know—crunchy.
Commercial candymakers are def
initely interested.
Massachusetts Town
Remembers First Banana
WELLFLEET, MASS—This Cape
Cod village is celebrating this year
the 75th birthday of the banana.
It was in 1870 that Capt. Lorenzo
Dow Baker of the Wellfleet succeed
ed in bringing a cargo of bananas
to the United States from Jamaica,
B. W. I.
Previously all attempts to import
the fruit had failed because the ba
nanas spoiled during the long voy
age from tropical climes. In that
year, however, Baker made the trip
from Jamaica to Massachusetts so
quickly—11 days—that the bananas
arrived intact.

Kathleen Norris Says:
Mind Your Own Business
Bell Syndicate.—WNU Feature!.
“She is running around with one of the town boys, a id whatever she feels, he
is deeply in love.” a
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
HESE are good days in
which to mind your own
business. For one reason,
because everyone’s business is
going to be complicated and
bard under postwar conditions.
And for another, because inter
fering in other persons’ affairs
is a harmful, wasteful and often
useless employment.
Here is a letter from a woman
who feels that she very decided
ly ought to be minding other
persons’ business, even while
she gives me a distinct impres
sion that her own isn’t being too
well managed.
»
“My position is a very painful
one,’’ writes Carolyn Miller, from a
Texas town. “I live with my hus
band’s mother, who is a dear.
She is only 52, active and capable,
and we manage the house easily be
tween us. I have a baby six months
old.
“The trouble is my twin sisters-
in-law, whom I will call Joan and
Jean. They are 20, Joan married to
a captain of marines, and Jean en
gaged to his brother, who is in the
air corps. This marriage and this
engagement took place before I
moved in here. My husband, Bert,
has been away for almost a year.
‘Not His Baby.’
“Joan, the married one, had a
baby 10 months after her husband’s
departure for the south seas. She
did not notify him of this baby’s ar
rival until it was five weeks old,
then a joyous cable was sent, ‘fine
little girl, both well.’ His answer to
this was so pathetically eager and
happy that it made me sick, for in
the family we all know that it is not
his baby. Joan admits herself to a
time of indiscretion, immediately
after his departure, with one of his
friends, since killed in the Pacific.
“The whole family expects me to
be a party to this outrageous de
ception, of which I never would hatH
heard, if I had not unexpectedly at*
rived here at the old home. My own
instinct is to try to persuade Joan
to write the truth to Art, and if she
will not and her mother will not, to
write him myself.
“Jean’s case is, of course, less
serious, but she is running around
with one of the town boys, and
whatever she feels, he is deeply in
love. This seems to me terribly un
fair to her absent fiance, but her
mother will do nothing but look wor
ried and say that time will settle
all these problems. Personally I
don’t be’eve in leaving such mat
ters to time; human beings have re
sponsibilities, and our duties to our
absent soldiers are surely the most
sacred among th ,m.
“My husband is now returning,
honorably discharged, and we will
move back to our own home, in a
town some miles away. Naturally I
have kept these troubles strictly to
myself, for the honor of the family,
but I really am in need of advice
as to my correct course, having
been brought up myself in the belief
that honesty is always wisest in the
end, however painful. Please help
me.”
Let Joan Tell Husband.
My dear Carolyn, my advice
heads this article. Mind your own
business. Button up your lip about
Joan’s affairs and Jean’s affairs, and
concentrate upon managing your
home—fortunately in another town,
and keeping your husband and baby
happy.
You don’t know—and you have no
She will tell him when he returns.
SILENCE IS BEST
It is often difficult to keep quiet
when you happen to know some
scandalous information. Many
people persuade themselves that
it is their duty to tell, because
somebody is being deceived.They
seldom stop to think that they
may be making a bad situation
worse.
The case discussed in today's
article concerns two young wives
whose husbands are still in serv
ice and out of the country. The
girls are twins, young and pretty,
Joan has given birth to a daugh
ter — obviously out of wedlock.
The other girl, Jean, is going
around with one of the local men
who is plainly in love with her.
Carolyn, their sister-in-law, sees
all this and feels she ought to
write to the husbands and reveal
the ugly facts.
Miss Norris admonishes Caro
lyn to keep out of these people's
affairs. There is no good purpose
to be served, she says, by telling
the soldier-husbands now. Per
haps they will never need to
know. In any case, it is the wives
who should do the telling, and
under more favorable circum
stances than now exist.
business to know — what the rela
tionship is between Joan and Art.
Perhaps she has written him the full
truth already. Perhaps she is wait
ing until he is home again, and at
work normally again, and in love
with the little girl baby, to say to
him; ‘Art, I don’t know what weak
ness or craziness came over me—
I never loved Tom as I did you. I
was lonesome, and he was going
away—to his death, as it happened
—and we were carried away. Can
you forgive me, and love her for
Tom’s sake, too, because he gave
everything that he had, gave life it
self, to keep her world safe for
her?”
Perhaps, if something like that
happens, Art never need be disil
lusioned, Art’s heart need never be
broken; perhaps there will be other
children, and the little oldest girl not
the least dear.
But whatever happens, y.tur put
ting your stiff, moralizing, clumsy
hand into this affair can only ruin
everything, and do you no good.
Leave Joan alone and leave Jean
alone — Jean isn’t the only pretty
young flirt who’s amusing herself in
the absence of her heart’s true love.
Jean will probably meet her sweet
heart with inocent eyes and a royal
'welcome, and to all the world Joan’s
mistake will remain hidden, and
Joan’s daughter will have her honor
and her place in the world un
touched. In a word, Carolyn, mind
your own business.
Vitamin Intake Sufficient
You homemakers are concerned
with the proper amounts of calcium
and of riboflavin, known now as vi
tamin B-2. Calcium builds bones
and teeth. Riboflavin promotes
growth and is necessary to normal
nutrition at all ages. B-2 vitamins are
found in milk and milk products,
among other foods. For folks have
been drinking 25 per cent more milk
since 1934, and increased their con
sumption of the B-2 vitamins about
one-fifth.
Vitamin B-l and niacin have been
added. Iron is an important nutri
ent and it is usually fairly well sup
plied in average mixed diets and the
enrichment program adds even
more. The average quantity of vi
tamin B-l that you and your family
had last year was 33 per cent higher
than in prewar years 1935-1939. Nine
per cent of this B-l increase was
due to the enrichment of grain prod
ucts. You homemakers have learned
that if your family does not have
enough B-l it is apt to result in a
poor physical condition, poor appe
tite and nervous disorders.
Yank Rescue Team
Cursed and Wined
By Japs in Korea
Allied Mercy Crew Has Odd
Experience With Foe
At Air Field.
CHUNGKING, CHINA. — An Al
lied mercy crew which landed at
Keijo, Korea, in the midst of 50,000
Japanese soldiers was alternately
cursed, threatened, wined and en
tertained before it took off again
with 500 gallons of Japanese gaso
line, a member of the party said
recently.
The mission of 22 Americans and
Koreans landed at Keijo on a Sat
urday. The Japanese refused to al
low them to see Allied prisoners of
war but, rather than intern them,
gave them the 500 gallons of gaso
line to returh.
OWI Correspondent Henry R.
Lieberman, who accompanied the
team, related the story.
The team was led by Lt. Col.
Willis H. Bird of Landsdowne, Pa.
As the transport settled down on the
Japanese air strip, high ranking
Japanese officers, including one
identified as Lt. Gen. Yoshio Kot-
suki, commander of the enemy
forces in Korea, approached. He re
fused the request of the Americans
to see Allied prisoners and also re
fused to give the names and nation
alities of the prisoners.
Drinks, Songs—and Guns.
The mercy team and the crew
of the plane put up for the night be
cause the Japanese commandant
was unable to get enough gasoline
for the C-47 to leave immediately.
The Japanese meantime brought
up two tanks and set up trench mor
tars around the plane. A 37 milli
meter cannon covered the party.
During the night the Japanese en
tertained the Americans with beer,
sake and Japanese songs.
Flight Officer Edward McGee of
Durant, Okla., commenting on the
scene said: “If someone had told me
two weeks ago I’d be in a setup
like this I would have turned him
over to the loco ward.”
Although the members of the
team were armed with revolvers,
tommy-guns and hand grenades just
in case of trouble, Capt. Patrick
Teel of New York City, who was
with the first Ranger battalion at
Anzio, said: “It’ll take just five
minutes to make us all dead ducks.”
The flight to Korea from Sian en
tailed a journey of almost 1,000
miles over Japanese occupied terri
tory.
As the plane got within 500 miles
of Keijo the radio operator, Lt.
Meredith L. Price of Charleston, W.
Va., attempted to establish contact
with the Japanese.
“We are expecting you and we
guarantee you safe conduct,” the
Japanese said.
When the plane landed, Maj. Gen.
Junjiro Ihara, chief of staff for the
Japanese forces in Korea, asked
Col. Bird his mission.
Just Looking Arotmd.
The American officer replied that
he was in Korea “as the initial pre-
Allied occupation representative to
bring whatever help is needed by
Allied prisoners of war and to make
preliminary arrangements for fu
ture evacuation in accordance with
the terms of the peace negoti
ations.”
“Then you’re not here to negotiate
a surrender?’’ Ihara asked.
“No, our mission is purely
humanitarian,” Bird replied.
Ihara said th#t the prisoners were
well and were being cared for, but
that the party could not see them.
During supper that night the Jap
anese were quite convivial. After
singing Japanese songs, one asked,
“What is the American air force
song?”
Led by Capt. John Wagoner of the
air transport command, from
Grand Island, Neb., the Americans
let loose with the chorus of “Off we
go into the wild blue yonder.”
The Japanese beamed and beat
time on the table with their fingers.
After the Americans finished, the
Japanese sang their air force song,
“The Fighting Wing.”
The next day the atmosphere be
came tense again. When Bird asked
a Japanese officer to sign a note
saying the mission had arrived but
was refused permission to act, the
major swore and made stinging ref
erences to “inferior persons.”
Shortly afterward the guard
around the plane was increased.
The gasoline finally was poured
Into the big ship and the Americans
and Koreans took off on the return
flight.
Two Marine Casualties
Go AWOL—to Japan
WITH THE MARINES, YOKO
SUKA. — Two marine casualties
from Okinawa, who wanted to
march into Tokyo so badly that they
pushed aside a chance to go right
home, came to Japan as stowaways
and piled ashore with their old
buddies.
They are Pfc. Joe A. Sagraves,
Ashland, Ky., and Cpl. Joseph Cur-
ry, Sioux City, Iowa. They sneaked
into a battalion work gang loading
transports at Guam. Their pals got
them arms and they hid aboard at
sailing time.
“I’m putting the boys back in
their old platoons with* no punish
ment for going AWOL from
Guam,” said Maj. Wilson E. Hunt,
Wayne, Pa. “Kids like that deserve
being in at the finish.”
